i was driving my car and it was running fine
so i decide to turn around and when i did my car just died
i checked under the car and there was oil on the ground the oil filter was loose
since then i had it home and put oil in it and tried to start it
it want start i dont have spark in cylindes 1 and 4
i changed the coil pack power transistor cas and everything except for ecu and cps
i dont know what it could be
 
1 and 4 run off the same coil. So it sounds to me like that coil went out or maybe you somehow managed to sever the wire that controlls that coil pack. Makes sense since you said you turned and the car died probably rubbed through at that point. Don't think your problem has anything to do with the oil leak just a good thing you caught it.:laser:
 
what about one of the three wires that run to the coil pack being severed or shorted. Sounds like something came apart when the car turned. Use an ohm meter and check the wires on you coil pack and make sure everything has a signal.:laser:
 
The coil pack plugs in to a triangle shaped plug that is attached to the main harness you may have had a problem that far back. Unplug the coil pack and use an ohm meter as someone cranks the car make sure the main harness plug is sending a signal.
